David Cameron Embraces More Social Networking

First there was Webcameron, then an apparent U-turn at the time of that "too many tweets" comment. But David Cameron seems to have fallen back in love with social media. Number 10 has been keen to stress the Prime Minister's use of Linkedin and Foursquare.

The Prime Minister's Linkedin page reads like a man looking for a new job, expounding his previous credentials.

"Before becoming an MP, I worked in business and government," he claims.

"After graduating from University, I worked for the Conservative Party Research Department and then as a Special Adviser in government.

I then spent seven years at Carlton Communications, one of the UK’s leading media companies, and served on the management board."

Number 10 says: "Today [the PM] checked in at BP’s North Sea HQ in Aberdeen. He also checked in at the United Nations General Assembly in New York during his recent visit. Downing Street’s Foursquare presence supplies information to visitors and tourists checking-in there. Checking-in helps illustrate the events the Prime Minister participates in during his day-to-day duties beyond Downing Street.

"It is the intention that Downing Street will continue to connect via LinkedIn with people and businesses the PM meets regarding UK business, enterprise and manufacturing."
